12mm allen key is a piece of cake to find! Go to your nearest Paykel's engineering specialists and they sell Unbreako 12mm allen keys separately! Cost was below 10 bucks as well IIRC! |

You do have the option.... but, as the car I bought was an English used import brought in during 1990, the plate is pure coincidence! |

Stay tuned, and within a couple of months there should be a serious audio system in the Sud.
Otherwise just shop round, listen to various brands and see what YOU think sounds good. |

Yup its a 12mm allen key... Ben if you need one, I got one from Paykel's engineering supplies, should be one in your area, they're a nationwide company AFAIK.
